“He’s day to day,” head coach Joe Philbin said. “The longer you’re out, the more of a period of getting acclimated back into football. I’d love to have him out here as soon as possible.”

The Dolphins don't have a ton of depth behind Clay so it will be important for him to get on the field as soon as possible. The team also may explore signing a veteran free agent to fill in any time that will be missed by Clay.
